Which word in the sentence is a singular possessive of lizard formed correctly?

English

The correct answer is B: That lizard's eyes were small and shiny. All other options are wrong because the noun was turned into its plural form "lizards," which can't be used with the singular adjective "that." In addition, option C lacks a possessive form and option D includes an "s" after the apostrophe, which should not be used with nouns ending in s.

The correct answer is the option B. Possessive nouns demonstrate possession, ownership, origin or purpose. The singular possessive case is a singular noun or pronoun that indicates something belonging to that person or object. For a singular noun that does not end with an S, in this case, we have a lizard, add an apostrophe 's to the end of the noun to form the possessive. In that case, the singular possessive will be lizard's. It's not the option A, because it's not a noun that end with an S. This rule applies for singular nouns that end with an S, for example, you just add an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of the noun:  The meeting is in the boss's office. The option D is not correct because that rule applies for a plural noun that ends with S, for example, The doctors' offices are in a separate building. And the final option C, it's not grammatically correct as for possessives you need to add an apostrophe.

(1) George Washington Carver was born in Missouri in about 1864. (2) As a boy he was known for his ability to care for plants. (
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

I believe the best answer to be letter A) sentences 5 and 6.

Explanation:

What we have in sentences 5 and 6 is an example of wordiness. Wordiness means taking longer than what is necessary to get to the point. It happens when we use redundant expressions or simply when we use too many words. Removing wordiness from a text helps it to flow more easily.

In sentence 5, we learn that Carver taught students something. In sentence 6, we learn he taught them something else. Both sentences are quite short and could very well be combined to avoid the repetition of "he taught". All we need to do is add the conjunction "and", and remove the excess words.

(5) Later, he taught students how to care for plants. (6) He also taught them how to use science in farming. --> Later, he taught students how to care for plants and how to use science in farming.

Why are graphics particularly useful in scientific texts?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

They are particularly useful because they help lay out the words in a visual manner.

Explanation:

“Graphics can be functional or artistic. The latter can be a recorded version, such as a photograph, or interpretation by a scientist to highlight essential features, or an artist, in which case the distinction with imaginary graphics may become blurred.”
